  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • Charleston Charleston
    CHARLESTON TO CHARLESTON LITERARY FESTIVAL NOVEMBER 7-10 2019 WHERE BOOKS, IDEAS & CREATIVITY FLOURISH WELCOME Welcome to the third Charleston to Charleston Literary Festival, a celebration of books, art and ideas. Modeled on one of England’s most prestigious and long-standing festivals - held at Charleston in Sussex, the former rural hub of the creators and thinkers associated with the Bloomsbury group - and building on the Charleston Library Society’s excellent reputation for holding events throughout the year, it is a unique transatlantic collaboration. Could there ever be a more worthwhile time to share the stimulation and joy of listening to thought- provoking and entertaining talks from a host of talented and world-renowned speakers? One of the motives behind establishing the Charleston to Charleston Literary Festival was to promote the special US/UK cultural relationship. The mutual values of the UK-based Charleston Trust and the Charleston Library Society, the founders of the Charleston to Charleston Literary Festival, embrace a belief in the power of literature, the arts, science, humanitarian ideas and respectful conversation to unify communities and society and to foster empathy in these tumultuous times. All our speakers reflect this vision. Their events will inform, challenge, stir and amuse. The Festival boasts an outstanding array of authors from Pulitzer Prize-winners, to UK-based Orange and Costa Prize-winners, to the recipient of the National Humanities Medal presented by President Obama. Subjects include history, biography, current affairs, science and art explored by novelists, non-fiction writers, journalists and thinkers. You will be transported from war-torn Holland to the Harlem Renaissance, from newsrooms to science labs, from China to Chicago.

  • Pinochle-Rules.Pdf
    Pinochle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pinochle (sometimes pinocle, or penuchle) is a trick-taking Pinochle game typically for two, three or four players and played with a 48 card deck. Derived from the card game bezique, players score points by trick-taking and also by forming combinations of cards into melds. It is thus considered part of a "trick-and- meld" category which also includes a cousin, belote. Each hand is played in three phases: bidding, melds, and tricks. In some areas of the United States, such as Oklahoma and Texas, thumb wrestling is often referred to as "pinochle". [citation needed] The two games, however, are not related. The jack of diamonds and the queen of spades are Contents the "pinochle" meld of pinochle. 1 History Type Trick-taking 2 The deck Players 4 in partnerships or 3 3 Dealing individually, variants exist for 2- 4 The auction 6 or 8 players 5 Passing cards 6 Melding Skills required Strategy 7 Playing tricks Social skills 8 Scoring tricks Teamwork 9 Game variations 9.1 Two-handed Pinochle Card counting 9.2 Three-handed Pinochle Cards 48 (double 24 card deck) or 80 9.3 Cutthroat Pinochle (quadruple 20 card deck) 9.4 Four-handed Pinochle 9.5 Five-handed and larger Pinochle Deck Anglo-American 9.6 Check Pinochle 9.7 Double-deck Pinochle Play Clockwise 9.8 Racehorse Pinochle Card rank A 10 K Q J 9 9.9 Double-deck Pinochle for eight players (highest to 10 See also lowest) 11 References 12 External links Playing time 1 to 5 hours Random chance Medium History Related games Pinochle derives from the game bezique.
